The Johnson Amendment



In this Article Trump vows he will destroy the Johnson Amendment. The Amendment restricted churches and charitable organizations from participating in any political organization, or show any favorable side to any party or candidate. Johnson introduced this in 1954 as a way to beat his opponent who was receiving support from nonprofit organizations, Johnson took the voices of churches and organizations from speaking their minds from their pulpits. In the Article President Trump vows he will destroy the Amendment, President Trump and his supporters claim this is a violation of freedom of speech. The Article is worth reading because it shows how Trump is working on gaining even greater support by reaching out to religious conservatives. It shows how not everyone has freedom of speech and that Trump is doing everything that he can to gain and keep more support.
